I've been taking Dedep Plus tablets from my psychiatrist for about a month. The doctor suggested I take them for 20 days and come back for a follow-up, but I haven't gone back yet and I'm still continuing with the tablets. Should I be worried about any health problems from taking them longer than prescribed? Also, I've been managing Type 2 diabetes for over a year and I'm on Atorlip 10mg too. Could this combined use affect my health?

Continuing Dedep Plus tablets beyond the prescribed 20 days without consulting your psychiatrist can lead to adverse effects, such as increased risk of suicidal thoughts, serotonin syndrome, or interactions with your diabetes medication or Atorlip 10mg; additionally, antidepressants like Dedep Plus can affect blood sugar levels, so it's crucial to consult your psychiatrist and diabetic specialist to adjust your treatment plan and ensure safe management of your conditions.

Question

I'm feeling really worried because I usually get panic attacks and my cardiologist had me go through ECG, echo, TMT, and X-ray, and everything came back normal. But yesterday, I had another panic attack, went to the GP, did an ECG, and was having shortness of breath. The GP said it's just an anxiety attack, but I'm still scared something might be wrong. Could you take a look at my ECG and let me know if everything is truly okay?
